Another New iPhone?

Just when you were getting used to whatever version of the iPhone you have, Apple’s getting ready to come out with the latest (and they would have you believe, greatest!) version of the iPhone on September 9.

No one knows for sure what features will wow us with this new generation, but the front-running theories include:

Bigger Screen – you could be talking about a screen as big as 5.1 inches, which means you won’t have to squint as much – you’ll still have to squint, just not as much.

Near Field Communication – basically, it could turn your cell phone into a short-range wireless communication device – which sounds like if you’re within earshot of someone, you can talk to him on your phone, but I guess it’s more than that.

Sapphire Glass – harder than glass – and this stuff is synthetic, so it’s not like you’ll have a precious gem in your cell phone – unless you’re a Kardashian, and they’ll try to get legit sapphire glass.

Go ahead, get in line. There probably won’t be an iPhone 7 until after Christmas.

Check out this tech report to get more info – it’s sort of like watching a weather report done by a geek about a new bit of technology. It’s a 7-minute-plus video – average turn-off time is just under 60 seconds – how long can you last?
